All new low!

Just when I thought I have seen it all when it comes to todays youth and the new society of America, I get kicked in the gut. This past Saturday I responded to a horible traffic accident, driver is trapped in car, passenger is in cardiac arrest, and we are in broad daylight in a residential neighborhood. We were able to get the passenger out and begin working on her, performing CPR for about 8-10 mins before getting a pulse back, getting her on a strectcher and transporting her in the fire department ambulance before Acadian got on scene. I return to the scene to find a 9y/o standing in the yard adjacent to the accident site, filming with an iPhone. I asked the little girl how long she was filming, her response - "for a long time, I saw you pumping her chest". I asked her to go back to her house and if her mom knew what she was doing, her response "yeah, she's standing right there".

I look over to the front door to see a lady just watching from her door as her kids are witnessing something I wouldn't want my kids to see. Better yet, she's letting them film it! C'mon Man! This is ridiculous!!!

I went visit my wife at work one night (she works at a hospital) and they were landing a helicopter in the front yard with a patient from a wreck.

Naturally my kids wanted to see the helicopter land so we went into the ER lobby to watch. As we were watching they pull the patient out the helicopter and a nurse from the ER jumps on top of him and starts doing chest compressions. That scared the **** out of my kids for a few days, nightmares and all and they just got to see about 15 seconds of it. No way I would let my kids see that purposefully.

I know being LEO you are held to a higher standard, but I would have snatched that phone from the child and beamed it at that low life parents head!! What the hell is wrong with people today? And what the hell does a 9 y/0 need with an iPhone?

That is the core of why we see amazing crap that never happened in the past...POS people raising kids...or lack there of...You have to have a license to do most anything on this planet, except for the most important endeavor you could possibly take on...Raising a child...Usually if you are a fesces missle and you have a child, they will be a fesces missle as well...That is what is so sad...no standards to raise a child...Integrity/Character/respect are a thing of the past...Truly sad...
